Second Extinction Dev Tracker

3...2...1...The first Supply Drop has landed!
Besides the addition of new contracts and difficulty settings that we’ve already shared with you on the roadmap(link), we have fixed multiple issues and crashes with this update.

The Grenade Launcher’s projectiles now collide with enemies, multiple menu and graphics issues are fixed, and you will now receive loot even if you have died during a mission. But you can no longer throw infinite airstrikes or send the Rex flying. You win some, you lose some.

With Difficulty Settings making an entrance into the game, it is more important than ever that you take on the challenge as a team to get the full experience and not constantly have to bite the dust.

For the solo players out there, we hear you, and we are looking into making the game more enjoyable solo, like with the Expedition Mode arriving not-too-far into the future (it’s coming in December with Pre-Season 2). But until then, team up and share your skills... Read more

We're only a day away from the first Supply Drop landing! Bugs will be fixed, there'll be new contracts and, best of all, some new difficulty settings to test your metal*. To give you a better understanding of what you'll be up against in Hard and Insane difficulty modes, join Community Developer Anais, and Game Director Simon, as they answer the eight most asked questions about, you guessed it, difficulty settings. Enjoy.

*we know, it should be "mettle", but guns are metal. And we felt clever

How is the war against the mutated dinosaurs going out there? Are you ready for some refreshments?

Last week we shared the updated Roadmap with you and that our first pre-season First Blood’s Supply Drop #1 is embracing for impact. If you’ve kept updated this is what your eyes will have spied...

• New Contracts and New Clues -  Something stirs in the dark… Complete new Contracts to unravel the first narrative threads behind the dinosaur menace.
  
• Are You Hard or Insane? - Turn the pain up to 11 and earn new Nameplates in two new difficulty settings.
  
• Fix Up, Look Sharp - various bug fixes for graphics, audio, and UI among others.

Supply Drop #1 will land on November 18.

Until then share your best plays and gameplay clips so we can feel confident in your competence and not throw you to the wolves when the new difficulty settings arrive.

Welcome to Freak of the Week!

Here you get to take a closer look at the mutated monstrosities that have taken over earth.

Next up is the Raptor who's buffing his buddies - THE ALPHA RAPTOR! Take this hype beast out first unless you like stronger enemies and more pheromones (don’t answer that).

Hey, Extinction Elites,

Time flies, and it’s already been three weeks since we launched into Early Access. While we continue to push out minor patches and listen to your feedback, we wanted to start looking to the future and talking about what’s in store for the upcoming Early Access period.

Before launch, we published the first draft of our roadmap to whet your appetites and give you a glance at what we had in store. Since then, we’ve made a few adjustments and started to cement the timeline for our releases.

Without further ado, here is our November Updated Roadmap:



Our plan for the coming weeks and months is to alternate our updates between Supply Drops and Pre-Seasons. A few weeks before these releases, we will refresh our roadmap asset with more information on the approaching update.

Hello, Extinction Elites!

It’s been two weeks now (wow) since we launched the game in Early Access. The reception has been incredible, and it’s been amazing to see how you have responded to the game.

Launching a game is equal parts exciting and terrifying, as we both get to see your reactions to shooting dinosaurs first hand, but also need to face performance unknowns that come with the myriad of PC builds and configurations that are out there. While things went smoothly, it’s not to say everything went perfectly. Our last two patches were meant to hopefully fix most of the issues that caused problems. With that said, anyone who is experiencing crashes, load errors, and other performance problems should reach out to us via Customer Support so we can try to find a solution. Please be patient with us - we are a small team, after all, and our poor QA team is juggling a lot currently.
Ultra-wide support (i.e., 21:9 resolution) was an unfortunate oversight on our part,... Read more
